the heel of his right foot, while the left
slowly advanced in front of him without
touching the ground. Then he raised
himself erect. Another is this" He
held his body at arms length from the
ground, resting on the tips of his toes.
Then he rapidly passed his legs through
his arms and reversed his position.
THAT is not so easy" he remarked.
Of course some of the featS which eX-
pert turner's perform are equal to those
exhibited by circus performers. Such,
for instance, is the double trapeze act.
You have two trapeZes swung high in
the air and fifteen or twenty feet apart.
Two expert and powerful athletes
swing from their knees, one on each
trapeze. They take another athlete, one
by his wrists, another by his ankles,
and toss him about from one trapeZe to
another. The feat is very thrilling, and
requires nerve, skill and muscle on the
part of the performers. One will hold
the third athlete by the wrists and grad
ually set the trapeze to swinging. When
he has gained the desired impetus he
will toss his companion towards the
other trapeZe, where the second turner
Will catch him by the heels. On the toss
back the third turner may be thrown in
such way that he turns a SomerSault
III the air. There are various variations
OF the feat that are all thrilling and in
ereSting, but not half as dangerous as
they appear, for usually strong net is
stretched between the trapeZe and
the floor, to break the fall
of the third turner should
either of his companions fail
to catch him. Perhaps the most
strikingly characteristic work of turn
ers is done on the parallel cars. A sur
prising number of tricks of immense
difficulty are done by the experts. They
require. the best developed muscle and
the highest order of ability. And that
is in accord with our main idea, which
IS to build up and perfect the physique
of the individual, which can be done
only by such judicious training as shall
not sacrifice muscle to ability or general
vigor to special skill. This tells on the
race eventually"
The founder of the turn-vereins was
Friedrich Ludwig jain, known to all
his followers as Father jain. His
idea was greater than the mere terms
physical culture, gymnastics and the
like indicate. He proposed to unite all
Germany into a nation physically,

Napoleon as a Novel Reader.

hdilSds lily StdT
Napoleon, the greatest man of modern
times, was greedy novel reader. An
drew Lang, the esSayist, says he was
one of the most vOraciOuS readers of
novels that ever lived. He was ALWAYS
asking for the newest of the new, and
unfortunately even the new romances
of his period were hopelessly bad. Bar
bier, his librarian, had orders to send
parcels of fresh fiction to his majesty
wherever he might happen to be, and
great loads of novels followed Napoleon
to Germany, Spain, Italy, and Russia,
The conQuerer was very hard to please.
He read in his travelling carriage, and
after Swimming few pages would throw

as was Hop-o'-My-Mhub in the fairy tale
by the white stones he dropped behind
him. Poor Barber, who ministered to
passion for novels that demanded
twenty volumes day, was at his wits
end. He tried to foiSt on the emperor
the romanceS of the year before last:
but these Napoleon had generally read,
and he refused, with imperial scorn to
look at them again. Poor man! he had
not Dickens, and Thackeray, and Bull
wer, and Eliot, and Cooper, and Poe,
and Hawthorne, and innumerable lesser
lights to minister unto him. How he
would have relished Victor Huge's ac-
count of Lies Miserables,, and what
short work he would have made of

the New York Turn Verein, on Fourth
street. He is thoroughly in earnest on
the subject of gymnastics and likes to
talk of it.
physical culture" he said, sis a
regular thing in Germany, and is re-
garded as part of the educational syS-
TEN. 1t is attracting much attention
now in the United States, not only in
educational establishments, but in the
larger cities where gymnasiumS are
erected. The board of education here
in New York favored the introduction
OF instructions in gymnastics into the
public schools and wished the sum of
$4,000 to be set aside for this object.
This was not complied with by the
board of appropriations, and so it has
not yet been done. Mayor Hewitt is in
favor of the plan, however, and it may
be carried out soon.
The main difference between the Ger
man and American systems of gymnas-
tics is as follows: The American sys-
TEN is elective. A boy or young man
practices in the gymnasium chiefly at
those branches which he likes, and may
entirely neglect other exercises, how
ever good OF necessary, if he has no in
clination for them. The German sys-
TEN. on the contrary, makes all the eX-
erciSeS part OF. the training for all.
Thus the whole body and the whole
physical system is promoted in an all
round way, and man does not merely
strengthen his arms or his legs or devel-
op his chest. Of course, the advantages
of this system OF training all the mus
cles of the body are evident enough
when one looks to the results. .
"We begin with children from the age
Nf ,fx I,,14 T., Il.
dren go through the same exercises, to
adults have more advanced exercises,
and such as call for greater eXertion,
but they also go through with the free
exercises. that is. movements of the
hands, feet, head and body, without the
help OF any apparatus or instruments.
Some larger children, who have ac-
quired a familiar, practical knowledge
of the movements, act as vOr-turners.
They go through the movements, and
the children initiate them. The head
instructor goes about seeing that they
acquit themselves properly. Some of
the older children are exercised in the
ladders and climbing poles.
For the adults the exercises are of the
most varied kinds. They have the free
positions, and also exercise with the
wandS, dumbells and Indian clubs. The
Indian club by the way is something
which the German turner's have adopted
from the American gymnasts. Then
they are trained on the horizontal, per-
pendicular and inclined ladders, the
climbing pole, the apparatus for leap
ing Spring boards and vaulting poles),
the parallel and horizontal bars. The
trapeZe, Peschelle and lifting machines
also figure in nearly all the gymnasi-
ums. The horizontal and parallel bars
are from Germany. They were intro
duced there by Father jain, and were
adopted everywhere as most valuable
and interesting apparatus"
Every year the turn vereins give
exhibitions or have picnics, at which
popular pastimes are exercised and diff
ferent prizes are awarded. The most
frequent are pole leaping, wrestling
